My Grandpa

These past few days I have been thinking alot. You never know how long people are going to be around. I wanted to dedicate this post to my Grandpa, Dan Milich. He is such a remarkable man with great wisdom, a Santa belly that I love to wrap my arms around, a big laugh and a warm heart of gold.

Here is a list of just a few things about my Grandpa.

1.) He is so kind to everyone he meets and he loves everyone, especially his family.

2.) He hopes the best for each one of his family members.

3.)He only speaks of the good and happy times, no matter what troubles he's going through.

4.) He is a great fisherman and loves to take the boat out.

5.) He is always full of fun stories about his childhood and his life.

6.) He gives such good advice.

7.) He has a strong testimony of the gospel & loves it with all his heart.

8.) He loves and adores his sweetheart, Grannie B.

9.) He loves to go get a "licker." (ice cream cone!)

10.) He also loves to go get a hamburger.

11.) He gives the best hugs.

12.) He always seems to know all the answers to anything.

13.) He loves to watch Western movies.

After thinking about things these past few days and deciding to write this post, I thought about how to express my feelings for grandpa. I'm not very good with words but I can always relate to what other people say. So I found the following 2 poems that I think just about do it.

A Poem for My Grandpa (Author Unknown)

My Grandpa, you are so special to me,

You teach me to be happy and free.

I love spending our fun days together,

We always find a new adventure.

You don’t mind answering my questions “Why?”,

You pick me up and carry me high.

My Grandpa, you take the time to teach,

And let me see things above my reach.

With you, I always feel safe and secure,

I’ll love you forever, ever more.

We say goodbye with a hug and kiss,

As I make a big, big special wish…

My wish for you, Grandpa, please, please don’t go.

Why? Because I love, love, love you so….

Grandpa (Author Unknown)

You always have the time to listen, when everyone else is busy.

Your wisdom seems to put my mind at ease.

You know what I'm going through because you've been there before.

I love the talks and stories of the places you've been and things you've seen.

You make me slow down and see the world for what it really is.

When I remember my childhood, I think of you.

This is my chance to tell you how much I love you.

Grandpa, thank you for always being there for me and having such great advice. You are a loving man with a big heart. You'll always be my Grandpa and I'll love you forever.

Homecoming 2009

Yesterday I went to Kuna's homecoming and it was SO much fun. The guy I went with is really cool, his name is Kameron. He is such goofy kid but he's hilarious and way nice. He came and picked me up at 4pm, we took pictures at my house and then went to show Grandpa and Grannie B. Then we went to Kameron's house to take pictures. After that we went and met up with the rest of our group to take more pictures! Everyone was so tired of smiling and posing. There were 16 people in our group, which was really big but it was tons of fun.

We went to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, it was so good. I had a double cheeseburger, it's called Tons Of Fun Burger. It has double everything, so it was double delicious! :) Then we had strawberry cheesecake and that was really yummy too.
After dinner, we went to the dance and had our pictures taken and then spent the rest of the night dancing. It was so hot since there were so many people in the same area but it was fun. After the dance we went to one of the guys house to hang out and then I came home. Overall it was probably the funnest date I've been on. :)

Here are some pictures that we took at my house before leaving. I don't have the group pictures yet but I'll post them as soon as I do.

Weekend In Utah

This past weekend my parents and I took a trip to Utah. One of our old Bishop's (that now lives in Arizona) mom lives here in Nampa. Well the Bishop's son Anthony is getting ready to go into the MTC next month and he was going through the temple this weekend. They wanted his grandma to be there so we took Mama Galvez to Utah so she could be there for that and then we spent the rest of the weekend in Salt Lake. We drove around to different motorcycle shops and to jeep dealerships just looking around. Well.... sadly... my dad's and my own dreams were crushed as my mom told us that we couldn't buy either of those things. :( We were so depressed! We met up with Brandon and had lunch with him, it was fun to spend a little bit of time with him. We also spent quite a bit of time shopping for a Homecoming dress (which is on Saturday!). Overall it was a fun trip and it was good to spend some carefree time with my parents.

Labor Day Weekend

I had forgotten to put these pictures up from a few weeks ago. Over Labor day weekend, we went to Cascade and spent some time enjoying nature with Uncle Jeff, Aunt Julie, Jared, Teri and little Gracie Bug. It was alot of fun. We ate and ate and we took the jeep and went to the mountains to get dirty!
